OUR hero Harry - the little boy who was reduced to tears after his honesty box was stolen from him - has raised an eye-watering £7,500 for a Worcester charity.
Five year-old Harry Clare, from Welland, set up a shop outside his parents glamping site in Malvern. He sells eggs, goats milk and soap among other items at the Rosebud Meadow site.
Harry was devastated when heartless thieves stole his honesty box containing £40 and also all of his stock!
But, he hasn't let him get him down. Harry has restocked his shop and is back with a new mission to raise as much money as he possibly can for Worcester children's charity, Acorn's Hospice.
The brave and thoughtful boy has already raised a whopping £7,396.
Mum, Rosie Clare said: "Harry wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated.
In Harry's words: "WOW that is INCREDIBLE"
"We cannot thank you all enough for your support.
"We are truly overwhelmed with all the love and support shown to Harry and his honesty box story.
"Its so humbling to see all the exceptionally kind donations coming in from all around the world. We truly are so very grateful.
"Acorns Children's Hospice is such a very special place, which makes every day count for all the children they care for & the families they support through exceptionally tough times.
"Thank you all so very much."
